How To Create Your Own Sewing Patterns For Fabric Gift Card Holders

Are you looking for a creative way to give gift cards this holiday season? Look no further than this free sewing pattern for a gift card holder from Heather Handmade. With just a few simple materials and some basic sewing skills, you can create a personalized and thoughtful gift for your loved ones.

To make this gift card holder, you will need:

Fabric in your chosen color/pattern
Fusible interfacing
Ribbon or bias tape
Basic sewing supplies (thread, scissors, sewing machine)

How to:

1. Begin by cutting out two rectangles from your fabric - one should measure 5.5" x 8" and the other should measure 3.5" x 8". Cut out two rectangles of fusible interfacing also.

2. Fuse the interfacing to the wrong side of each fabric piece using an iron.

3. Take the smaller fabric piece and fold it in half with right sides together. Sew both sides together, leaving a small opening at the bottom for turning. Turn right side out and press.

4. Take the larger fabric piece and fold it in half with right sides together. Sew both sides together, leaving a small opening at the top.

5. Take your ribbon or bias tape and fold it in half, aligning the raw edges. Sew it to the inside top of the larger fabric piece, making sure it's centered.

6. Turn the larger fabric piece right side out and press it.

7. Slide the smaller fabric piece into the larger one, making sure the raw edges are aligned at the top.

8. Sew around the entire holder, making sure to catch both layers of fabric and the ribbon in your stitching.

Your gift card holder is now complete!

Tips & Tricks:

- Customize your gift card holder by using fabrics that reflect the recipient's personality or interests.

- Add extra embellishments, such as buttons, bows, or embroidery, to make your gift card holder even more special.

- Use a coordinating thread color to make your stitching blend in with the fabric.

- If you don't have ribbon or bias tape, you can make your own by cutting a long strip of fabric and folding the edges inwards, then pressing and sewing.

Get creative this holiday season with this free sewing pattern for a gift card holder. Your loved ones will appreciate the thought and effort you put into their gift, and you'll have fun making something special just for them.
